Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

TotelFootball operates a betting service which brings the excitement of Tote-style pool betting to the already great format of fantasy football games. Like existing games, fantasy managers pick a team of 11 players from teams in selected Premiership fixtures. The selected players will earn points based on their performance in the real-life fixtures. The better the players perform, the more points a team will earn and the higher up the league table the fantasy manager’s team will finish.

The game differs from the existing fantasy manager games as follows:
(1) Unlike other fantasy football games, this is a betting service. Each customer must bet money to enter a team into the competition pool. This creates a large prize pool, with 80% of the pool paid out as prize money to the top 5% of managers.
(2) It’s a new game each week, so customers will be engaged throughout the entire Premiership season.
(3) We are primarily focussed on providing the infrastructure to enable the established betting operators and sports media sites to offer this service to their customer bases.

Page descriptions

We wish to do a redesign of the Homepage and the My Teams page.

The page will be structured as follows:
- The page should be 1020 pixels wide, but bordered to fill the screen.
- The page will be structured...
- The header will fill entire width of page. It will contain the logo, and the login/account details for the user.
- The main body of the page will be 760 pixel wide, enabling deployment as a facebook application.
- The right column will be 260 pixel wide.
- The footer will fill entire width of page.

Use the logo attached. Select the colour for the Totel depending on the header background.

HOMEPAGE
For rough layout (minus some functionality) see homepage_layout.png.

- The main purpose of the homepage is:
(1) to educate site visitors about the game.
(2) to get them to play the game.

The managers image attempts to achieve (1).
Attached is a PSD of this image. If you feel it works well with your site design, feel free to use. No issue if you'd prefer a completely different approach.

The Betting Pool (€1,000 pool) & Practice Game panels on the page attempt to achieve (2). These might better be replaced with an explanation of what's involved..
